i suspect the clinton people suspected they could manipulate newt. ed gillespie was a very high staffer also took time to paint ego as a big gingrich weakness. a little over four years later, gingrich would lose his historic speakership, largely because he forgot that it wasn't about him. he began acting on a whim. notice a trend? here now two doozies from the former congresswoman suzanne moll nary. he would call and weep openly while talking about resigning because saving the world was simply too heavy a burden for him to manage. she went on to write, newt gingrich is one of the most complicated public figures our day. well, truth is, gingrich is front and center again right now and his boasts last week that he would be the nominee was to many old colleagues, even some allies a hint of that vulnerability susan wrote about. but it's too soon to stay the old newt, the self-destructive newt is back. to his credit, he has been much more disciplined in this new chapter but the true test is the next four to six weeks. let's check in with andrew hemingway.

he had that dec difficulty whene ran against hillary clinton. she's much better with that populous narrative. he's got that difficult. it's also difficult to run the incumbent president of the united states with that narrative. >> charlie: because you have time to change. >> yes. and it's usually about change. the populous is about throw these people out they haven't served us well. throw them out. he's trying to adopt them. it's interesting to see if newt gingch or mitt romney, it's probably easier for newt gingrich to adapt that than mitt romney because of his personality and stands on certain issue. mitt romney investment banker very cool not like that, not a fire brand. i think it's easier for newt gingrich to do that. but i think newt gingrich, the person that could defeat newt gingrich is newt gingrich in this race. >> charlie: if that person doesn't do that he could win the presidency. >> he could win the nomination and i think right now we've gone last week to the odds on that mitt romney, theodds right now today that newt gingrich wins
